MAJOR COST ELEMENT OF SW DISPOSAL 50-70% of total SWM costs

The gathering or picking up of solid wastes from


various sources

COLLECTION Hauling of these wastes to the location where the


contents of the collection vehicles are emptied

Waste Collection

Poor building layouts - e.g. squatters


Road congestion - time cost, leachate,
transport costs.
Major Problems Physical infrastructure
Old containers used (leaky/ damaged)
Absence of systematic methods (especially at
apartments, markets with large wst. volume)

Waste Collection
Mechanically loaded collection vehicles - the container
used for the onsite storage of waste must be brought to the
curb. Typically, 90 gal containers are used in conjunction
with mechanized collection vehicles.

Waste Collection
The generator separates the waste as opposed to commingled
wastes or mixed waste

Curbside collection using standard or specially


designed vehicles

Standard vehicles can be used to pick up just


newspaper or just can on some kind of appropriate
time cycle; perhaps every other week or the third
Thursday of the month for glass.

Waste Collection
Source-separated materials are
usually collected by private
haulers.
The wastes to be recycled are
stored in separate containers.
In some cities, cardboard is bundled
and left at curbside where it is
collected separately.
In large commercial facilities, baling
equipment may be used for the paper
and cardboard, and can crushers are
used for aluminum cans.

Waste Collection
Both manual and mechanical
means are used.
To avoid traffic congestion during
the day, wastes are collected in
the late evening and early morning
hours.
Wastes are put into disposable
containers that are placed at the
curb for collection.
The crew of collection waste
consists of driver and two or three
collectors who load the wastes from
the curbside into the collection
vehicle.

HCS is flexible : containers of
many different sizes and shapes
are available for the collection of
all types of waste

Because containers used in this


system usually must be filled
manually, the use of very large
containers often leads to low
volume utilization unless loading
aids are provided

The waste is unloaded into a
bigger truck. A large
container is an integral part
of the truck.
When fully loaded from multiple
waste containers, the truck
travels to and from the landfill as
opposed to the waste container;

• Necessary off route time includes
• Time spent checking in and out in the morning and at the end of

• Time lost due to unavoidable congestion
• Time spent on equipment repairs and maintenance

Solid waste from a new industrial park is to be collected
in large containers (drop boxes), some of which will be
used in conjunction with stationary compactors. Based
on traffic studies at similar parks, it is estimated that the
average time to drive from the garage to the first
container and from last container to the garage each day
will be 15 and 20 minute, respectively. If the average time
required to drive between containers is 6 min and the
one- way distance to the disposal site is 25 km (speed
limit: 88 km/h), determine the number of containers that
can be emptied per day, based on an 8-h workday

Comment: Where fractional equipment and labor requirements
are obtained, the use of large containers and reduced collection
frequency should be investigated. If it is assumed that no off-route
activities occur during times t1 and t2, then theoretically 5.21
trips/d could be made. Again, only 5 tips/d would be made in an
actual operation. If, however, the number of trips per day that
could be made were 5.8, for example, if may be cost-effective to
pay the driver for the overtime and make 6 trips/d.

Comments: As determined in this problem, the
labor requirements for the one-person crew are
approximately 25 percent less than corresponding
requirements for the two-person collection crew.
The results of this example illustrate why the trend
in collection is towards the use of curb collection
with one collector-driver and collection vehicles
that are either manually or mechanically loaded.

• Recovery is a means of recovering energy or
materials, without any pre-processing, from
wastes that cannot be used for something else.
• For example, waste oils that cannot be refined for
reuse are used in furnaces. Recovering the
energy from waste oil reduces our dependence
on coal and imported oil.

• Residual management is the final
treatment and/or disposal of a
waste that cannot be used in any
other way
• Residual management of solid
waste is normally disposal within a
landfill.
• Residual disposal of liquid waste is
normally into a sewer or septic
tank
